We stayed at this hotel, so we ate breakfast here every morning. The breakfast was free for hotel guest but $8 for others. They offered banana bread, fresh fruits, juices, coffee, yogurt, granola, cereal and you could also get some eggs, french toast, pancakes and gallo all for $8. I think it was a very good value.

We also ate lunch there. Most lunch items such as chicken nachos, popcorn shrimp or quesadillas ranged from $7-$8 per plate. It was a large plate of food and pretty tasty.

We enjoyed the frozen drinks the most. Smoothies for the kids were $3 and very good. My favorite was the 2 for 1 mango margaritas from 4-6 p.m. each day. They were delicious.

Luis and Ricardo offer excellent service each afternoon and evening.

We stayed near by and were very happy that this restaurant was there. It is a great place to grab a tasty sandwich and kick back and relax. It isn't the best restaurant in town, but we enjoyed it more than once.

Went here after reading numerous positive reviews and expected a delicious affordable meal. The ambiance was lovely and the service was attentive but that is where it ends. The ceviche was drowned in cilantro and basically inedible. I ordered a med-rare burger for $12 which came out like a hockey puck. My father had the sea bass which was unevenly cooked, raw "steamed" veggies and my husband's jalapeño poppers left him without taste buds to enjoy his meal ( and he loves spicy food). Save your money and try one of the other delicious restaurants.

Dear sucutie01,

Thanks for taking the time to write a Trip Advisor review. We are glad you enjoyed the ambiance and attentive service from our wait staff. 4 of the 5 reviews previous to yours comment on the our reasonable pricing. Having just received the Certificate of Excellence for 2013 from Trip Advisor, we believe will be hard pressed to find a better priced menu for fine dining in Manuel Antonio.

Our Explosivos are called that for a reason. They can be hot. Jalepenos in Costa Rica are very inconsistent and can be quite mild or quite hot. While the jalenpenos may have been hot, my wait staff indicated that the plate was empty when they cleared it from the table. As you said, that is a matter of personal preference. Many folks rave about our take on Peruvian Ceviche.

We pride ourselves on our fresh fish and our other fresh ingredients. We also take comments from our guests very seriously. We prefer to handle things immediately when we don't meet a guests expectations. We would encourage all of our future diners to allow us to correct any problems right away. We are not perfect, however, we do strive for perfection. I did speak to my wait staff. The sea bass was ordered with a change to the stuffed chili dulce. It is normally served with rice and cheese. The request was made to have it without the rice. This detail was missed and we served the stuffed pepper with both rice and cheese. The server immediately offered to fix the error and your father declined. Nothing else was mentioned. We humbly apologize for that oversight. We would gladly served you a different hamburger or a different dish given the opportunity.

We appreciate the nice gratuity that you left our staff and thank you again for taking the time to write us.

We are a small restaurant and work very hard to meet the expectation of each of our guest. We can cater to smaller children by bringing out some chicken fingers or pasta quickly and even tweak many of our dishes to be vegetarian friendly.

Thanks in advance for giving us a try, we will do our best to exceed your expectations.

Wishing you all safe and happy Travels,Scott for the entire team at The Falls Garden Cafe and beyond

One of the best places to eat in Manuel Antonio. We ate at many different restaurants during our week-long vacation, but came back to this several times because of the fantastic food and the reasonable prices. Don't miss the french fries - they are really that good!

We stayed at the Falls and ate here for appetizers one day, dessert one day, and then dinner. Dinner was fantastic. There were 4 of us and 3 of us had fish - 3 different kinds of fish. Very fresh, very tasty. Luis, our waiter, is the best! He makes everyone feel special. Order the bananas foster and they'll dim the light and put on a show! Drinks here or at the bar are also reasonable. They also have happy hour from 4-6.
